Add cereal, pretzels, cheerios and peanuts to the bowl of a slow cooker.

In a separate bowl, whisk together butter and seasoned salt until the salt is dissolved. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce until combined.

Drizzle the sauce evenly over the top of the cereal mixture. Toss for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is evenly combined.

Cover and slow cook on low for 3 hours, stirring at the 1 hour, 2 hour and 2.5 hour marks so that the mixture does not burn. Then spread the mixture out onto a few baking sheets or parchment paper in an even layer until it cools to room temperature. Serve, or store in a sealed container for up to 3 weeks.

*If your slow cooker does not have a tiny hole in it to let air escape, it may collect too much condensation which could make the Chex Mix get too soggy. If that is the case, I recommend placing a towel underneath the lid of the slow cooker to collect the condensation.

Long, long 30 days in taking a really nice empty building and making it in to a completely functional and beautiful Abbimay's Quilt Shop.

Linda wanted to take her internet business to another level with a retail outlet. She made a decision on what she feels is the perfect location to serve West Michigan and said "GO".

Off we went 30 days 7 days a week 10, 12 and 14 hours a day, lots and lots of help from her posse (thank you, thank you, thank you) and here it is. First day Saturday with the doors open was a HUGE success, Still a lot of small details to work out and that will come and go.

Future plans are to add to the inventory, plenty of new fabric and kits with a unique fabric line you will ONLY find at AbbiMays. We also have some other ideas for the store we'll share as they develop.

Thank You again everyone who braved the snow to come in and made the first day the huge success it was. THANK YOU ~ Bruce Hazekamp!

The florals are delicately painted, and the entire palette is soft blues or pinks, with gentle touches of ivory. A wonderful choice for a relaxing bedroom or for little girl dresses for special occasion.

Beautiful lush florals, rich textures - Jackie’s newest collection is like a fine oil painting, just waiting to be displayed!

The beauty is in the details - each petal and leaf intricately painted; textures are rich and varied, making them the perfect backdrop for the focal prints. The color stories are also carefully thought out for maximum impact! Rich plum/burgundy with leaf green, or smoky teal with gold and ivory.
